I have just join a New Design Team at Nicecrane Designs, I love the challenge this one is going to be for me. They have a large amount of Vintage images, Digital Collage sheets and so much more at their store. You can see my card at the blog for Nicecrane Designs. Their are all kinds of wonderful images their a well. So if you can stop by and see all the wonderful images.

These are the copic markers I used to color my image.

Here is my close up. The digital collage sheet I used is called Kiddie Land and if you stop at the blog you can get it free. Thanks for stopping. I hope you like my card and have a great week

A fun card to make. Over at Color Me Creative Suzanne has started a new challenge group Called Mix it up- Mixed Media/Altered Art Group and Marti (pezadoodle) is hosting the group. Marti is a very talented person so I’m hoping to learn all kinds of things from her. We are doing Challenge #2 and it is to make something put you need to use a book page in your creation. So that is what I did. Believe it or not I have used all kinds of different mediums on my card but it does not look like I did. So I guess I will have to tell you.

I colored her with my copic markers and after that used some shimmerz on her dress, top and hair colors opal, aquar marine and sunflower. With the help of diamond glaze I added red fun flock to the heart and the cut pieces. Put flower soft in her hair kind called wildflower. Sprayed Memories Mist color blue martine on the printed paper. At the little girls feet added some of Suse Weinberg’s Beadazzle’s. For the background paper I embossed it with Ultra fine Crystal glitter embossing power. Metal dots red, gems red and some Fantasy Fibers. If you could see the card it just sparkles but for some reason the camera did not pick that up. Mo Manning has a challenge going on and it is Anything goes with Mo's image.

This is Our World, brilliant colorful raindrops. Their is so much beauty around us and all we need to do is look and see with our eyes. Being amazed by the tiny wonders of the world around us inspired inquisitive mines to photograph raindrops. These water drops were taken from plants just after it rained. I wanted to share the beauty of these pictures with you and I do hope you enjoy them as much as I do. They are just stunning.

I do hope you enjoyed these beautiful picture as much as I have. Thanks so much for stopping. Have a wonderful week end. This world has so much to offer us to see and we need to appreciate all the beauty we have around us.
